Chapter 1676 Guess

Minghui got off the carriage and saw that it was a teahouse. "Now you can tell me why you came here!"

Yu Wen, "Mr. Wu has reserved this teahouse today to hold a competition. Let's go in."

Minghui thought of his uncle and wondered who he would trick today.

The Hanlin Academy is closed today, and Master Wu has invited many people, including Zhuo Guyu and others.

Chang Zhong saw his niece coming and said, "Come and sit over here."

Wu Shangheng smiled and said, "Lord Anhe."

What else does Minghui not understand? His future prince consort is also an insider!

As people arrived one after another, Wu Shangheng went on stage. "Today is not like the previous poetry competition. We will try a new way of playing. Today, the main thing is to defend the stage. Do you see the four stages? The competition lasts for one stick of incense, and the four people who defend the stage at the end will enter the finals."

The rules are very simple. There is no limit to the topic for defending the challenge, and the topic is set by the person defending the challenge.

Wu Shangheng continued, "There are only four platforms in total. Who will go up first? Oh, I forgot to mention the prize. My organization will naturally have me to pay for today's competition. It will be an authentic painting by Wang Zhixing."

When they heard about the reward, they were amazed. Mr. Wang was from the previous dynasty, and not many of his calligraphy works are left. Now one of his calligraphy works is worth at least five hundred taels!

Gu Sheng had been silent just now, he knew that Master Wu was a playful person, he was not surprised about today's competition, Master Wu had organized it anyway, he was surprised about the prize this time!

Yuwen didn't say anything, Minghui's eyes widened. Isn't this calligraphy and painting hanging in Fourth Uncle's study? He looked at it carefully again, and sure enough, it was the one in Fourth Uncle's study!

Ming Hui saw that someone had already stepped onto the stage, "Sister, can I try?"

Yu Wen said in a sad tone, "Don't worry, there is a chance to play."

Minghui didn't think much about it, "It's really not urgent, I'll wait a while."

Yu Wen turned her head and asked, "Master Gu, do you want to give it a try?"

Gu Sheng didn't like to be in the limelight, and he became even more low-key after the New Year. He heard the county lord ask, "Does the county lord want this calligraphy and painting?"

Yuwen was very direct, "I want it."

Gu Sheng was silent for a while, then said softly, "Yeah."

Minghui, "???"

Changzhong sat there without moving. He knew that the girl had figured it all out. Sooner or later, the painting would be returned to his fourth brother!

Yu Wen stopped talking and watched people keep going down from the stage. As time passed, she glanced at Zhuo Guyu, the one who would go up.

Zhuo Guyu was a high-profile figure in the capital, and it was easy for him to find out about his calligraphy. It turned out that Zhuo Guyu's beautiful calligraphy was a copy of Mr. Wang's.

Half an incense stick of time passed, and Zhuo Guyu finally made a move. This man, who was confident in himself and loved fame, chose the platform in the middle. The young man guarding the stage in the middle was the young master of the Qi family, who had been guarding the stage for a while. Zhuo Guyu chose the one who was the most difficult to challenge.

In the private room upstairs, Zhulan watched the competition below, and then looked at the young men and women who were watching the excitement on the second floor. These young men in the capital really know how to have fun. They are young people who really like excitement.

Downstairs, Yuwen suddenly spoke up, "Brother, get ready."

Minghui was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

Yu Wen frowned, "I'll go challenge first."

As she spoke, Yu Wen stood up and headed straight for Zhuo Guyu's ring. The young master of the Qi family had already stepped off the ring and asked in a surprised tone, "The county lord wants to challenge too?"

Yuwen smiled, "I do want to try it."

Zhuo Guyu's face was not very good. Why did Anhe County Master challenge him? Did Anhe County Master look down on him? Or did he think he could beat him?

The young master of the Qi family smiled and said, "Of course I can try. Young Master Wu said that everyone in the teahouse can challenge it."

There is no rule regarding men and women. It is no problem for the county lord to challenge. The one with the problem is Zhuo Guyu. If he wins, it would be an unfair victory, but if he loses, it would be too much fun!

Yu Wen was grateful for the title in her heart. If she didn't have the title, she would have to think again. The title brought her so much convenience, and no one would say anything if she stood up.

Zhuo Guyu felt depressed and said, "I voluntarily give up."

Yuwen raised an eyebrow, "Master Zhuo looks down on women?"

There were many young ladies in the teahouse today. He did look down on women in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. "No."

Yu Wen held out her hand, "Then please ask the question, Master Zhuo."

Zhuo Guyu didn't say that he knew Anhe County Lord, but he knew that this person was not a high-profile person. Now he came to challenge him on purpose, there must be a problem. He frowned and had never offended Anhe County Lord. "Please don't embarrass me, County Lord."

Yu Wen thought to herself, I am just trying to make things difficult for you. There is nothing wrong with being a couple. Besides, it was the Yong'an Duke's Mansion who had planned this from the beginning. Sister Yu Yi took action. She didn't want to continue making things difficult for Ye Ying, so she naturally looked for the source.

Zhuo Guyu saw that everyone was looking at him and his face turned red. He felt embarrassed no matter whether he was competing or not.

Yu Wen didn't say anything until Zhuo Guyu's neck turned red, then she said, "Then I'll ask someone to do it for me."

Zhuo Guyu's expression eased slightly, "Who?"

Yuwen motioned for Minghui to come over. Minghui said, "."

So this is the reason why my sister brought him here. From the beginning to the end, my sister never thought about competing with herself!

What could Minghui do? He could only step forward and say to Zhuo Guyu, "Master Zhuo, please."

Zhuo Guyu looked deeply at the Lord of Anhe County. Yu Wen kept smiling and signaled Zhuo Guyu to ask a question.

Zhuo Guyu did not underestimate Zhou Minghui, and thought about what kind of questions could stump Zhou Minghui.

Wu Shangheng asked Changzhong in a low voice, "Can Minghui do it?"

Changzhong was not sure either, "We'll know in a moment."

Gu Sheng felt strange in his heart. He felt something strange since Lord Anhe stood up to make things difficult for Zhuo Guyu. He didn't say that he knew Lord Anhe very well, but he knew that the Lord Anhe didn't like trouble. He deliberately made trouble today. It could only be that Zhuo Guyu had offended Lord Anhe.

Now after listening to the conversation between Master Wu and Master Zhou, I am more convinced of my guess that today's game might be a game!

Gu Sheng was thinking about it when he saw the winner and loser in front of him. Ming Hui bowed and said, "Master Zhuo, I give you the upper hand."

Zhuo Guyu's face was stiff. "Mr. Zhou is a young talent."

Minghui thought to himself, why do you have to ask math questions when there are so many other questions to ask? He glanced at the smiling sister Yuwen. Did sister Yuwen guess it?

Yu Wen signaled Brother Ming Hui to go up to the stage, and she returned to her seat. It was not because she guessed that Zhuo Gu Yu would give the numbers, but because of her misleading, the young master of the Qi family did not leave. She showed her knowledge, but Zhuo Gu Yu ended up overthinking it.

Zhulan was watching the show from upstairs and said to Qingxue, "This girl is amazing."

Today's situation has been planned step by step, and nothing has been left out.

Qingxue was also surprised. Perhaps among the young ladies of the Zhou family, the fifth young lady was the one who should not be provoked the most. Unlike the fourth young lady who liked to scheme openly, the fifth young lady was more ruthless.

Zhuo Guyu did not leave. It was not because he did not want to leave, but it would seem intolerant if he left immediately. Even though he was angry, he had to wait for it to end.

Gu Sheng also went on stage, but did not challenge Ming Hui. Ming Hui was very good at math and kept asking math questions, so he kept the stage.

In the final four-person competition, Ming Hui still had some shortcomings and was defeated in the end, while Gu Sheng won.

Wu Shangheng handed the painting to Gu Sheng and said, "Congratulations."

Gu Sheng held the painting and looked for the county lord, but found that the county lord and Master Zhou had already left.

On the street, Zhuo Guyu saw An He and his group, walked up quickly, and stared at An He, "Have I offended the county lord?"

Yuwen: "Yes."
